Ovambo Sparrowhawk Juvenile (Accipiter ovampensis)

We came across this chap by accident as we travelled along one of the dirt roads to Ezemvelo Nature Reserve. He seemed to be hunting lbj's feeding next to the road but wasn't having much luck. Fortunately for us he had some time to strike a pose..
